Calendar 2018 – 2019 – (September 2018)

Remember that our AGM is to be held on Tuesday 2nd October (at Algies Bay, but open to teleconference)

There are a few discussion items on the agenda – SSNats format and dates/venues (some points included at the end of the agenda). Plus, the future of NZTSA – what do people want? How should NZTSA operate? Please ponder these topics – all feedback welcome, either before or at the AGM.

It would be great to have reports and updates from the regions, too.
